The Academy and Japan’s Waseda University have always maintained a friendly relationship. On February 21, 2017, the academy was visited by Professor Hiroshi Asako (a well-known legal history scholar in Japan) and other delegates, including Itaru Yamanaka, honorary professor from Kumamoto University, Yuko Fujino, associate professor from Tokyo Women’s Christian University, Hsiu-hua Chiang, lecturer from Waseda University, and Lawyer Yasuhiro Chiba from Chiba Law Office in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. President Tsai Pi-yu, Chief Secretary Yan Nai-wei, and Director of Academic Affairs Lu Xiao-yun greeted the delegates in person, and the two sides talked and exchanged opinions. The Academy’s library has a collection of 327 books of original verdicts handed down for criminal cases by the Taichung District Court during the Japanese Occupation. Professor Hiroshi Asako and his research team had previously visited the Academy many times to film the contents of these original verdicts. Presently, his research team has finished cataloging related contents, and, for this visit, Professor Hiroshi Asako and President Tsai Pi-yu discussed and exchanged opinions on how to make this catalog database of precious historical materials public to be used for academic purposes in legal history research in the future.
